Best Echo Sets for Zhezhi
Best-in-slot for Zhezhi as a Sub-DPS. Increases Energy Regen and Coordinated Attack DMG, making Coordinated Attacks more reliable and stronger. Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad is recommended for its Glacio DMG and quick summon.
Second-best option, useful if you lack Rinascita. Ensures the Main DPS's attacks are maximized while providing enough Energy Regen to reliably cast Resonance Liberation. Focus on Basic Attack DMG Bonus substats as coordinated attacks scale off that.
Option when running Zhezhi as the team's main DPS; increases general Glacio DMG. Useful if you primarily want to boost Zhezhi's personal damage rather than off-field buffs.
Zhezhi's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad
The new best-in-slot option for Zhezhi. Maximizes both her Glacio DMG and Coordinated Attack DMG, and can be summoned quickly without interrupting combos.
Hecate
Great for Sub-DPS due to its increase to Coordinated Attack DMG. Part of the Empyrean Anthem set (Zhezhi's best Sonata Effect).
Impermanence Heron
Maximizes the damage buffs Zhezhi provides via her Outro Skill's Resonance buff and Glacio DMG increases; good for Sub-DPS setups.
Lampylumen Myriad
Increases Zhezhi's Glacio DMG, making it a solid choice if you run her as main DPS or as an alternative if you lack stronger Main DPS units to buff.

Best Tips & Tricks for Zhezhi
Best Teams for Zhezhi
Carlotta Glacio DPS Team
1) Start on Carlotta and use two instances of her Resonance Skill to partially charge her Forte Gauge. Her Skill has a long cooldown and should be ready again by the end of the rotation., 2) Switch to Shorekeeper and charge both Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy until both are ready. Use Resonance Liberation as soon as available., 3) Once Concerto Energy is full, switch to Zhezhi to activate an Intro Skill and upgrade Shorekeeper's Stellarealm., 4) As Zhezhi, use her optimal combo to charge her Forte Circuit and energy; execute her Resonance Liberation. Swap to Carlotta when Concerto Energy is full to receive the Resonance Skill DMG buff from Zhezhi's Outro., 5) On Carlotta, execute her Skill so it's on cooldown, fill her Forte Gauge and use her Forte attack., 6) Use Carlotta's Resonance Liberation after the Forte attack and finish all shots within 10 seconds of casting Resonance Liberation., 7) If Carlotta's Skill is off cooldown, use it again. Otherwise, check Concerto Energy and swap to Shorekeeper to proc her Intro and detonate Stellarealm. Repeat the rotation.
Jinhsi Resonance Skill DPS Team
1) Begin on Shorekeeper and charge Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy until both are ready; use Resonance Liberation when available., 2) When Concerto Energy is full, switch to Jinhsi to activate an Intro Skill and upgrade Shorekeeper's Stellarealm., 3) Use Jinhsi's Overflowing Radiance (Resonance Skill variant) immediately, followed by another Resonance Skill and Basic Attack combo to reach Illuminous Epiphany and trigger Unison. Note: Unison substitutes for Concerto Energy so it won't be consumed., 4) Swap to Zhezhi, run her optimal combo to charge Forte Circuit and energy, and use her Resonance Liberation. Then swap back to Jinhsi with full Concerto Energy to receive Zhezhi's Resonance Skill DMG buff., 5) On Jinhsi, fully charge her Forte Circuit before using Resonance Skill: Illuminous Epiphany to maximize damage; use her Ultimate when available., 6) Charge Concerto Energy again and swap to Shorekeeper when full to detonate Stellarealm. Repeat the rotation.
Phrolova Resonance Skill Team
1) Start on Phrolova and build Volatile Notes via Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill combos., 2) Once at six Volatile Notes, perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord and use Liberation to summon Hecate., 3) While Hecate is active, control its performance; switch to Shorekeeper when Outro is available., 4) On Shorekeeper, perform combos to quickly fill Concerto, activate Stellarealm and swap to Zhezhi when her Intro is ready., 5) As Zhezhi, cast Resonance Liberation so Coordinated Attacks apply while she's on-field., 6) Do 3–4 Basic Attacks, use Resonance Skill to summon Imprints, then summon the third Imprint with another Basic Attack., 7) Use three instances of Zhezhi's Resonance Skill with all Imprints up, then switch back to Phrolova via Outro and repeat; Stellarealm explosions in later rotations add extra damage.
